I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see what happens. I think you are all in for a surprise. Granted Cote hasn’t defeated anyone in the top 5 of the division but he has shown some great improvment and a willingness to let it all hang out and go for broke, it’s that kind of commitment that the UFC is looking for. There really isn’t anyone else that can step up at the moment to challenge and Silva stated he wants to fight at least 4 times a year so they have to set him up with someone. Silva has to agree with the fight and he must see something in Cote as a challenge because he doesn’t want to have boring fights either so I think there will be a pleasant surprise in Oct and if Cote doesn’t win it will be a great fight anyway.

I’m not saying never give Sherk a title shot. I just think he should have to win 2 fights in a row before he gets it again. Same thing with Rampage. I’m actually a Sherk fan. I just think it’s only fair to have to win your way back to the title shot other wise we might possible just keep seeing the same 2 guys exchanging the belt all the time.

I’ll argue that Larry! I really don’t think that Cote deserved a title shot yet. He hasn’t beaten anyone that I consider a top 5 or even a top ten oponent in the division. I do believe this is going to be a one sided a$$ kicking. But with that being said, I would still love to see a lucky Matt Serra style punch for an upset.

Sean Sherk does deserve another title shot. If he can beat the top contender than he should fight Penn again. look at how many times Hughes got to have a shot at the WW belt each time he lost. Same as anyone, the ex champ should get a rematch with the cat what beat him, it’s only fair. I think Guida is going to shock the entire lw division, he keeps getting better every time he fights and hopefully he’s learning as he goes. I think he will have a real chance at the belt soon. Tyson Griffen deserves a shot at Penn right now and I think that will be a fight of the year contender. Kenflo, Sherk, Stevenson, Griffen, Guida, Davis, Edgar, Franca,Lauzon, Fisher, Tibau, Maynard, Huerta,Diaz and Clementi are all capable and great fighters in their own right and anyone of them can have a good night where their particular skill set can bring them a win against Penn. Unless of course Penn is also on his game and has trained right and has no cardio issues, then there’s gonna be trouble for anyone.

Again, it’s just my opinion

I think you are all in for a surprise. Cote has a legit chance at a knock out. On paper yeah it goes to Silva and I have to agree with most people here that Silva will win, there’s always the chance though that Cote has the right game plan and that right hand of his is loaded. Cote has shown he’s not easily beaten and he can take a shot as well as deliver one. Silva wants to stand and so does Cote so anything can happen. Me being Canadian I have to hold on to the hope that Cote will win but he’s fighting one of the most dynamic, aggressive, knowledgable fighters in the game right now so it’s gonna be a struggle any way you put it. One thing I will say though is that it won’t be a rout, Cote will make it a fight, No one can argue that.
